The goal of the Energy and Environmental Science and Engineering (EESE) major is to bring to light global issues surrounding energy, global warming, and water to meet the needs of the future and to build a bridge to that future through today’s energy and environmental technologies.

The EESE major seeks to cultivate the next generation of researchers and policymakers, to promote leadership in a comprehensive interdisciplinary energy and environmental program, and to foster links and partnership between the EESE major and the outside world to build an Asian hub in the field of energy and environment.
